Summary Illinois and its counties have experienced a decline in mortality and a significant increase in life expectancy for both males and females (Shahidullah & Agbodo, 2014); assessing the part of the remaining years of life a person can expect to live without any functional disability is important for measuring quality of life. In this report, we estimated disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) for Illinois, its counties, and the city of Chicago, using the American Community Survey’s (ACS) definition and data on disability, the U.S. Census Bureau’s population data, and the Illinois Vital Records System’s (IVRS) death data. Demographic-epidemiologic modeling (Sullivan 1971) was used for DFLE’s computation, and GIS mapping for assessing spatial contrast.
Results show significant differences in DFLE between males and females in 94 percent of the counties, Chicago, and statewide, mostly in favor of females. At the state level, a baby girl may live 70.3 years of her 81.6 expected years of life without disability; whereas a baby boy may live 67.0 years without disability out of his 76.6 expected years of life, a difference of 3.3 years (p
